LG Electronics’ Steam Washer made it into Popular Science’s Top 100 Product Innovations of the Year. The washing machine uses a steam generator, projecting the steam into the 4-cubic-foot wash tub. You can try the 20-minute-steam-only cycle to de-wrinkle your favorite shirt, or you can use the steam-and-water cycle that “relaxes the clothes’ fibers, allowing more moisture to penetrate than with water alone.”

The laundry appliance is a water saver, too, using 1 gallon less per load than your standard washing machine. The Steam Washer is available with a matching dryer, and there’s even a remote control so you don’t have to push all those tedious buttons on the machine yourself.

The washer will run you $1,600 (hey, who said steam was cheap?).
